whaaa happened?

well, i just called my doctor's office to see what days he usually does surgeries - for some reason i have convinced myself that i want surgery on a thursday - if it's arthroscopic, then i have 3 full days to recover and should be back at work the following monday.

my doctor is on vacation and gets back on august 7. this i knew. what i didn't know was that his medical assistant does all the scheduling for surgeries, etc. she's also on vacation. the receptionist gave me the assistant's voice mail, but on it she said she wasn't going to be checking it so don't leave a message. can't schedule surgery until the 7th. boo.

so, the possible silver lining: more hockey games before surgery.

or, does that just mean i am openly tempting fate and am asking for the "bad" version of the surgery? should i keep playing?
